my three favorite recipes

[Guest guest]

I am so impressed by the variety of people in this group and the

genuine concern for finding good answers. When I joined in a week

or so ago I mentioned some of the foods I have really depended on

these last 6 months of veggiedom. I was asked to share them. I

would like to do that. I saw the note from someone who has

substituted bread and rice for meat and has gained weight. I depend

mostly on beans and haven't gained but haven't lost the weight I

expected to. I'm sure fat and sweets are to blame. I don't care

how wholesome olive oil or date " sugar " are. Too many calories are

too many calories! I bought my first tub of tofu today! I'll let

you know how I do! Here are the three recipes that I have developed

and depended on these last few months. Let me know if you try them

and what you think of them.

you like spicy)

add some sweetner, although I like it just fine this way.
